You answered your own question:

> You are right, JS is not needed if the site truly is static content. But if you try to make an interactive app that could be implemented client-side (AKA javascript) and attach a server to it, everybody will complain that the application doesn't respect the user's privacy, since it could be offline-only but it's not.

That's the gist of it. Don't use JS if not absolutely needed (or at the very least, don't make the site break without JS enabled). If needed, consider whether there is a valid technical reason why this should be a server-dependent web app in the first place - and if there is, consider supporting off-line mode where possible anyway.

It's a perfectly valid position to hold. It's a user-respecting and waste-minimizing view.
Why shouldn’t children do jobs that they are able to do? Do you know how awesome those kids feel when they get that paycheck?
The German model is really quite interesting, even though some aspects are extremely strange (like high income earners opting out of the public system or public servants mostly using private insurance). I like that public insurance companies still need to compete with each other on customer service etc. America is probably beyond help but I could see a system where 5% of your income HAS to go to an insurance company that you can choose gaining acceptance.

The Australian private insurance system also works like that. Private insurers have to offer pre-defined tiers with pre-defined coverage.
But behind the algorithm there is a human trader with motivations and market knowledge who is commanding it; the fact that the buyer is, in some technical sense, an algorithm doesn't seem very relevant to me.
Awesome!! How are you serializing data over the network? I see you're using WebSocket's arrayBuffer--did you use any tools to help with serialization?
Nope. I've never been to Canuckistan. If you're saying this is typical behaviour of landlords in Canadia, then it makes me have second thoughts if universal health care is worth it.
I suppose that this is edging dangerously close to starting a semantic argument, but I'd personally argue that ad-hoc polymorphism is a distinct concept from duck typing that just happens to have a lot of overlap in its use cases. One key distinction is that Clojure multimethods need to be explicitly declared somewhere, whereas duck typing is 100% implicit.
GameStop Stock Soars as Reddit Investors Take on Wall St
That's atrocious! How could anyone post something so mean on reddit group!
I was in Death Valley last weekend. Drove there from SF with Model Y, ended up renting an ICE car to explore the park, especially since we were staying 1.5 hours from the center of the park.

I saw several Teslas around the park, and I think it's doable if you only want to visit say 1 or 2 locations, but without a Supercharger in the middle of the park, you will be limited and won't have the flexibility to see everything.

The resort in the middle of the park has 4 J1772 chargers, which would help if you were staying in the park overnight, but we were simply doing day trips.
Thanks for the response, very informative, I feel it explains a lot of what I was confused about.

So maybe a simplified view for me is: massive adoption of JS + frameworks, cookie cutter development, no point learning anything else when you have the golden hammer.

I actually thought you still did learn HTML and stuff before the digging into the frameworks.
But maybe it is analogous to learning assembler before python, i.e out of fashion and not needed to get the job done.

In this context what seems like the simpler and more suitable solution to me (static HTML+some minimal JS) might not be on the map for most modern web developers. What they do is overkill but it is what they know and it gets the job done.
Do you remember exactly what was described in Ringworld? I'm curious!
> The option seller needs to buy the stock to deliver the shares when the option expires

Not just when the option expires. You can be assigned anytime after you sell an option.
The part that's understated is that the short sellers engage in their own broadcasting - and no one ever REALLY knows whether to trust them. Citron Research and Muddy Waters and these others post, places like CNBC re-tweet, Bloomberg mentions it, etc. And that has a predictable effect, or an effect that's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I don't know if the David and Goliath story that played out here (if it is even really that) is that of longs banding together against shorts with greater aggregate cash and causing the squeeze, but rather a social platform having more social influence of information transfer than the traditional short broadcast mediums, and causing the squeeze.

Maybe that's the interesting story here of 2021 that makes it a unique twist. A 'democratized' medium of information exchange causing random people to organize in new ways.

So, I was on the wrong direction of this trade, having bought puts on Monday and Tuesday.

The stock rocketed up today and the puts rose about 20% as well (which is crazy and counter-intuitive). So, I was entirely wrong and made money anyway. Once I realized I couldn't account for what was happening, was totally wrong on the direction, and being offered a token gain to get out, I got out.

Someone was bidding up $50 puts expiring in 3.5 weeks and buying contracts today, while the shares were in the mid-300s. That's insane implied volatility.
Hi joosters, thanks for the question. It is always a good practice to ask if we are solving the right problem.

The decision to prewarm is ultimately a product decision to give users a better experience across the many surfaces where they encounter file previews. There are limitations to how fast previews can be generated on the fly, even under optimal conditions (unlimited top-of-the-line hardware, max of 1 request at a time). For instance, optimal on-the-fly preview generation for more expensive files (say, a video that is an hour long or a gigapixel image) can add 10s of seconds to tti -- not good from a user perspective!

Given this constraint, we wanted to optimize where we spend on the preview generation infrastructure without negatively impacting the user experience. We chose to do this with a combination of heuristics and the ML solution described in the article.

In the end I have a feeling it’ll be something like: the first 1% to invest will make a fortune, the first 10% to invest (who are selling now and maybe tomorrow) will be able to pay off student loans, credit card debt or maybe buy a car, but then the other 90% will either lose small or lose big.

I’d guess that in the future if you run into someone who traded GME this week, you’re more likely to meet a loser than a winner.

Bootstrapping Computing Tech from Scratch
"That is also why it’s so hard for technologists and non-technologists to communicate together: technologists know too much about too many layers and non-technologists know too little about too few layers to be able to establish effective direct communication. The gap is so large that it’s not even possible any more to have a single person be an intermediate between those two groups, and that’s why e.g. we end up with those convoluted technical support call centers and their multiple tiers. Without such deep support structures, you end up with the frustrating situation that we see when end users have access to a bug database that is directly used by engineers: neither the end users nor the engineers get the information that they need to accomplish their goals."

Module corresponds to a class, not to an object.

Afaik, you can't instantiate a module in python multiple times with different parameters.

In theory you would like to do this, but it is not supported in python, therefore you would use classes as poor man's modules.

I will second the Dygma Raise. It's a great split keyboard with a staggered layout and eight thumb modifiers (rather than a single spacebar). This was great for me since I didn't want to take on the learning curve of a ortholinear layout.
I did get your point. The obvious solution is to split into two entities, one that does the lobbying and can only accept personal dollars and one that accepts corporate donations and does no lobbying. This is the third non-issue you've brought up as if it were some kind of blocker. Prohibiting corporations from donating to individual campaigns is something that is already done. It just needs to be expanded to all lobbying.
I agree it's anything but cut and dry.

How are ideation dinners legal, or obvious conflict of interest when a market maker has stakes in a hedge fund - are they transparent about their shady collusions be it implicit or explicit? Atleast wallstreetbets is readable by anyone and everyone.

> It’s not bad because it’s OO, but that it’s very badly done OO

This argument seems to come up for every criticism of OO. The criticism is invalid because true OO would never do that. It seems like a No True Scotsman. Notably, when you whittle away all of the things that aren’t true OOP, you seem to be left with something that looks functional or data-oriented (something like idiomatic Go or Rust). There isn’t much remaining that might characterize it as a distinct paradigm.
> What are emphatically not pretty or useful are Python’s leading underscores to loosely enforce encapsulation.

IMO Go's use of upper/lower case is even worse than Python's use of underscores. What would be better? Explicitly labeling everything as `public` or `private`, C++/Java style?

> Does Python force you to pass [self] as an argument to make some kind of clever point?

I think the idea is that `a.foo(b)` should act similarly to `type(a).foo(a, b)`.

However, what happens when you define a method and miss off the `self` parameter is crazy. Inside a class, surely `def f(a, b): print(a, b)` should be a method that can be called with two arguments.

> And why are some classes (int, str, float) allowed to be lower case

Historical reasons. AFAIK in early versions of Python these weren't classes at all - the built-in types were completely separate.
True, but in my experience getting a few MRIs, the price from various imaging centers nearby varied (for the exact same MRI) from $500 to $2000.

The $2000 place is associated with a local hospital chain that is well regarded. I guess that is how they could negotiate $2000 for an MRI with insurance and the other place (that I went to) was only able to negotiate $500.

Honestly, the price for health care in the US is all funny money. I've gotten a single shot, of a very common drug, that was billed at $20k, knocked down to $10k with the "insurance discount", so my 10% co-pay ended up $1000, with insurance!

I had a surgery that was billied at $250k where the "discount" was over $150k. That $250k price is clearly not real.
"It feels like youre trying not to understand how a public option could be better."

This statement assumes a public option (which varies wildly depending on the one) is better.

The parent comment wasn't about a public option or getting a card. It was a complaint that recieving care at a provider is extremely complicated. At that stage of the process, that claim is incorrect.
And that was the original goal. Sadly, the marketing people won and turned the web into a glorified magazine delivery service.

You can certainly go to Farm and Feeds and get penicillin amongst other pharmaceuticals. Plenty of farmers hours away from metro hospitals and providers commonly use these sources.
You’d be surprised what kind of asinine bullshit they will ban a server over. Feels like everywhere you go these days some real or virtual administrator is pre-determining how much risk you’re allowed to put yourself in.
Because at the beginning there is no evidence the plan will work, and you could very well just be blowing a bunch of money. It’s like the people who mined Bitcoin very early and stashed them in their hard drives.

Once the stock picks up steam though, it attracts people who purely just want to make a fast buck, and less true believers.

YES. Not enough people understand this. Normies love to take a shit from on high on WSB, thinking they are a bunch of retards about to lose their money, but anyone who goes a little bit deeper than the surface can see its a very, very powerful resource to learn how to trade and how markets really work.

Of course if you only see WSB as a stock pumping forum and throw your money into whatever ticker is mentioned, you are at the mercy of fortune. But the ones who do use WSB productively to learn can make enormous returns previously reserved only for hedge funds. The normies only see the news stories about the first kind of user who gambled and lost, clamor for even MORE regulation, and soon that pathetic 7% annual return on index funds will be even lower as you close off more and more opportunities. The VCs and sophisticated investors will gain even more from further asymmetric opportunities and the wealth inequality will widen.

Ultimately protecting those who are at poor at investing from their own incompetence also means locking out those who are good at it and only cements inequality further. Every reduction in risk means a reduction in reward.

I'd imagine a mesh network like this could be most useful during natural disasters that disable wired/powered communications, maybe for wartime anti-tyranny - however radio waves could be blocked/tracked and targeted afaik, so maybe not foolproof for that use case.

Had a similar situation in India. I'd fallen ill and my partner went off to find medication. Spoke with a doctor/pharmacist who gave her an assortment of packets of tablets, rehydrating sachets and so on.

How much?
30.
30 dollars?
30 rupees (~40 cents)
Anything over 30% is considered heavily shorted and prone to short squeezes. Ortex says it's at 95%
This is ridiculous. The SEC should add a new rule to the game: no more than 100% of a stock can be shorted. I think it’s fair enough, and it should have been already illegal since a long time. Why the wall street guys can ‘chat’ whenever they want but normal people can’t?

I've never heard of this, and can't find anything to back it up (which is why I asked). There's usually a couple of reported cases a year where people travel abroad for something that isn't (yet) approved or available in the UK, and others that are routine.

The closest thing I can think of is a cannabis medicine, which isn't available in the UK, but the children involved have been able to go to the Netherlands for it. The trouble was when their parents brought the medicine back.

So, I assume it's American anti-public-healthcare fake news.
